Footsteps fall on this radiant path in the nightfall And the hours turn to days hastily The whispering wind evokes the name of an intimate But the next moment fades into the distance The horizon beckons with its elegant splendor So I travel to the water as if I’m in a dream The sun turns black in an eclipse as I arrive And beauty turns to darkness beneath an empty sky As I walk this path of thorns I do so with open arms I embrace the end, for aeons must rescind Wondrous departure from this existence Soon my eyes will open, consuming light from the other side
